[m0ssycobblestone]

Thinking about a Trigun au I made a while back that is super self indulgent with a side of projection /pos

I called it the Stale Donuts AU after the donuts I would sometimes get from H-E-B as a kid that, as far as I can remember, were always vaguely stale.

It is at its core, a modern AU–Cryptid Vash–Vashwood story hybrid hodgepodge thing that was also!!! Very much inspired by multiple fics I had either read or was reading at the time!!! And of course full of yummy delicious self indulgence and self projection with bits of me spread throughout like the stale donuts thing!!! Yippee!!!!!!

On to the bits and bops of the au itself in a very rambling way (I'm sorry):

Wolfwood is Mexican American and the main pov of the thing. He lives in an apartment with Livio, who's going to the local college (go girl go, get that higher education ✨). Wolfwood drives a motorcycle because why wouldn't he BUT he ALSO owns a motorcycle place where you can get shit repaired and customized an shit like that (I don't know vehicle things ITS A COOL IDEA I DONT KNOW IF ITS ACCURATE). Meryl also probably works there with him, because in my mind I can't for the life of me separate the thought of Meryl and driving things probably because I watched Stampede first but that's besides the point—we're ignoring that. Livio, Wolfwood, Meryl, and Milly were all friends in highschool (maybe they were in a shitty band?? That's a thought for a different day) and stayed friends into their adult lives (they all care about each other so much guys). ALSO this whole thing takes place in Texas, so AT SOME POINT one of them worked at Whataburger and one of them worked at a DQ I don't know WHO WAS WHERE but at LEAST ONE OF THEM I SWEAR.

Anyways

On his way to the motorcycle shop, Wolfwood passes the H-E-B and has to drive over a short bridge. Guess where he finds Vash.

One day he's coming home from work, and as he's crossing over the bridge he suddenly stops because JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING. Illuminated by the motorcycle headlights, a large, feathered...something startles and crawls over the edge with a sound of pain, leaving behind a trail of blood. Yippee!! Vash makes an appearance!! Of course Wolfwood's freaked the fuck out by the bleeding thing under the bridge, yet for some reason he follows it anyway (I haven't really thought of anything except hey that thing looked kinda hurt and Melanie raised him with compassion ig so)(and I love stupid men). He sees that this giant bird is 100% actually kinda injured (imagine getting hit by a car) and manages to calm it down enough to help it out at least a little, but he's also kinda on his way home and can only see with a flashlight, so there's not much he can do. He does toss it a snack he found hidden in his jacket tho. After that whole cryptid nonsense, Wolfwood stops at H-E-B! (YIPPEEE!!) Livio sends him a text. "You should totally get me a donut from the bakery"

"Still can't believe you actually like those" he sends back, still getting a plain glazed for himself. He offhandedly wonders if the bird thing would like donuts.

The next morning, now armed with a first aid kit, he buys a donut and stops at the bridge, hoping the creature from before is still there. Oh hey look, the creature from before! Now that it's daytime, Wolfwood can clearly see that yeah, that thing is definitely hurt. He says hi, and the creature seems to recognize him from the night before, but still won't let him get close enough to fully see anything other than feathers and old scars. Donut time!! The perfect distraction!!! I don't know what kind of injuries Vash has, but whatever it is Wolfwood manages to patch it up at least a little bit while he's munching on the donut. I like to imagine he's at least a little bit good at caring for animals (specifically birds) because Tristamp Wolfwood taking care of Thoma chicks makes me ill (/pos) so uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh chickens. And maybe like, a cockatiel for fun. Miss Melanie had chickens and a cockatiel that the kids would help take care of. It ends up becoming a routine where Wolfwood stops at the bridge to chill with the bird cryptid every morning and evening. Eventually he ends up telling Livio, Meryl and Milly about Vash. He also very quickly figures out that Vash has human level intelligence and isn't just a giant freaky animal and Vash manages to communicate what his name is!!! Yippee!!!

In this Vash has the Big Bird™ cryptid form and a normal human one, but can't switch between them when he's injured (like being hit by a car) so it's really great that this random human guy is helping him out.

The first time Wolfwood sees Vash de-birdified is hilarious because he goes to the bridge like normal and sees feathers everywhere, no giant bird in sight, and a vaguely familiar naked blond man chilling in the middle of it all. As soon as he sees Wolfwood, his face lights up and he starts excitedly waving.

"Wolfwood!"

"Needle Noggin?!"

"Look I'm all better!!"

Plot wise, no fuckin clue where it goes from here, vibe wise fuck it we ball. All I know is hijinx ensues and it's great fun all around YIPPEEEEEEE!!!

I think that's all I got for now, might post more if I think of anything✨✨✨

Trigun Fanfiction Appreciation Week

In honour of Trigun Fanfiction Appreciation Week, I'd like to give a shoutout to the following fics:

Rem-centric

First off, we have @lost-technology's Rem Lives AU. This particular angsty but wonderfully written chapter & its equally wonderful author not only inspired but motivated me to write the Purple Hyacinth AU, my first Trigun fic.

On another angsty hand, here we have these where she reflects on the tragic canon event known as Tesla & all her regrets in gen because she's only human. They're fics of introspection, not happiness. Read at your own risk.

Modern AUs

This one by @kneesofthebee is actually one of the first VW fics I ever read. You should definitely heed the tags but it's overall very wholesome & a nice read to pass the time.

A Highschool AU where the entire Trigun cast are happy & healthy.

Another wholesome Modern VW AU where Vash is a vet & WW being great with kids.

Fantasy/Royalty AUs

All I can say is that I want to devour this fic. I would read the updates despite having an exam the next day. 0 regrets. But if you're worried that it has too many chapters & not enough time-

We have this one-shot.

If this was about showing you my love for every Trigun fic I've ever read, we'd be here all day. But we have a whole week to show our appreciation so I'll stop here for now. If you like the fics I mentioned, don't forget to leave a kudo for the author.

[corvidrogue]

Someone on curiouscat asked me abt my modern trigun au but I wrote 3k words and cc only allows 3k characters so...woe, exposition be upon ye

cw: child abuse/neglect, suicide, self harm, emotional incest, alcoholism. if that's not all of them/if u see something that should be added, please lmk!!!

ok so the gist of the au is as such:

the identity disclaimer: the twins are fraternal. vash is a trans man and knives is apathetic toward his assigned gender – tends to use he/they if pressed to identify. at certain points in their lives knives has leveraged his gender/sex and their twinhood to shut down speculation on vash’s gender/sex by claiming they’re actually identical/mirror twins.

vash and knives were the second and third child of their family, fraternal twins raised mostly by their older sister tesla who was a few years older than they were and entirely too young to be taking care of children

vash was initially raised as a girl, but he’d do things like take nai’s clothes, want nai’s haircut, etc etc etc.

the twins were launched into the foster system when they were very young after they found tesla collapsed at home, and she passed in the hospital. nai had wanted to call their parents; vash had called an ambulance. it led to a CPS case and the twins being taken away in a neglect/abuse case – tesla had been struggling with a chronic condition the twins didn’t know about and the parents didn’t seek treatment for.

vash has always blamed himself for “breaking apart their family” – if he’d let nai call their parents maybe they’d still have them, but if he’d called the ambulance immediately instead of arguing maybe tesla would have had a better chance to live. a lot of internal conflict for a kid in primary school…

rem agreed to foster them, not necessarily intending to keep them, but even in a nurturing environment vash continued to struggle. rem let him present however was comfortable but that was only a small fraction of what he was dealing with. he and nai got very codependent but he didn’t want to “add to nai’s troubles” and things spiraled until vash attempted suicide

rem found him. she was there with him in the hospital afterward. she was there before they let nai in and when vash finally spilled his guts, rem realized how badly she needed to keep these kids. how badly they needed someone in their corner, something they’d never had, something she was uniquely positioned to provide. she could empathize with them. and it was an all-around terrible situation, but it felt like a push. and vash finally opening up to her felt like a sign, if not from alex then from…something.

it was after vash’s attempt that nai started getting difficult. vash was, of course, guilty and ashamed bc he’d managed to ruin his sibling’s life even more. knives had now decided that vash needed someone to look after him, not the other way around – vash, in trying to protect nai, had closed him out. now nai, in trying to protect vash, locked him into a safe little box and never let him out again.

what followed was years of vash practicing every form of quietly self-destructive behavior in the books, and some louder ones, and knives appointing himself his brother’s keeper. rem did her best to support both boys and help them grow but there would inevitably be things that slipped through the cracks – she couldn’t control how they structured their own inner world. she could get vash support when she found him self-harming but she couldn’t control how he and knives interacted around it.

vash would get into trouble a lot through middle and highschool for being scattered, inattentive, or for catching strays when nai acted out. nai would do things to get a reaction out of vash, to try to control him – they decided who was a good friend for vash, who was a bad friend for vash, who was allowed to place anywhere near as important to vash as knives was. (no one was allowed to be as important to vash as knives was.) it took some considerable time for vash to really wise up to how toxic nai actually was about him, and longer still to start feeling like the safe little box nai kept him in was too small

the only “main cast” member who’s really present before college age is wolfwood – he went to their school, was a year or two under them, and vash had a bit of a crush on him but for obvious reasons never pursued

the twins ended up not finishing highschool bc of The Accident in eleventh grade – another one of nai’s dumb escapades. he liked to explore abandoned/dangerous places, thought himself just generally above other people and their rules. would always tell vash it’s fine, xyz rule is for people too stupid to know better. but we’re smart. and vash couldn’t really argue because they were taking AP courses and they had made up the academic time they’d missed after The Tesla Incident so like???

in his mind, at least if nai was going to do something stupid, vash was going to be there to make sure he didn’t get hurt.

he really didn’t want to go into the old mill, he wanted to stay at home and finish watching some show, and they argued about it but nai was gonna go alone and needed a spotter. nai ended up breaking something/almost getting hurt while they were arguing (again) but when vash tried to stop him, it was vash who got hurt instead – he ended up getting his arm caught and crushed and almost got his head caved in and it was just all very terrible, nai freaked out, the only thing he could do was call EMS and it felt like tesla all over again. vash bled everywhere and in the ambulance all nai could think of was the fact that he didn’t have the correct blood type to give to vash. because they weren’t actually identical twins. this wasn’t the first time vash nearly died but it was the first time nai was there for it.

nai ended up the guilty one after this, vash coded on the way to the hospital and ended up in surgery. afterward nai would help him in any way he could – finding binders that vash could get into and out of since The Accident delayed the top surgery vash and rem had been scheduling. helping with physical therapy. driving him to and from appointments so rem wasn’t constantly in and out of work. he kept vash moving. he kept vash eating. same as he always had.

but vash had already started outgrowing his box and now he was chafing for space. he knew what this was, he knew he was on suicide watch again. and “same as knives always had” was suffocating him more than ever.

vash gets his arm from one of rem’s friends/colleagues in biomed – it’s experimental and proprietary and they have to drive like four hours to have it worked on, but it’s years ahead of any other adaptive equipment he’d have access to back home. it’s not a huge issue to take out a day when he has an appointment

until college apps come around and vash only applies for schools on the east coast.

until nai finds out that vash does not want to go to a single school nai wants to go to, and doesn’t want nai applying to any of the ones he’s applying to.

until the vague idea of “escape” that vash had unknowingly chased ever since tesla died (escape from what?) became brilliantly, unquestionably real.

he and nai fought a LOT leading up to leaving for uni. and while at uni. nai ended up going into biology closer to home. nai would text a lot, even though vash was bad at responding. they had one agreement that vash had allowed: if knives called, vash would always pick up the phone.

after all the screaming matches they’d gotten into, this was a privilege he knew better than to abuse.

vash ends up stumbling through two years of gen ed courses, nosing his way into horticulture. he makes a friend, meryl, who’s originally from kinda close to where he grew up. they navigate the inklings of crushes before he realizes he’s just starved for friends and meryl just adores him platonically. nai visits once or twice in vash’s first semester, but after an argument in the car where nai questions every single fucking one of vash’s life choices and vash threatens to drive them both into a ditch, vash has to place some more boundaries.

the twins actually go fully non-contact for a while. it's rough on rem, tbh.

vash slogs his way through classes. he hangs out with meryl and her girlfriend, milly. he gets into situations because he can’t say no, and gets out of them either uncomfortably or only because the girls bail him out. he spends weekends camping in the ugly red camper van that he picked up secondhand and loves to death. he starts spending weeknights camping sometimes, too.

early in his fifth semester, Vash drops out of college. he spends the next two and a half years living out of his camper, making his way across the contiguous US (and has a brief dip into canada!)

rem hates it, but she’s not exactly equipped to stop him. she just makes him check in frequently, give updates, keeps him on the phone bill and health insurance. she listens when vash says he doesn’t want to talk to nai. she knows he’s spent huge chunks of his time in therapy working on his relationship with nai. she knows nai is still in therapy trying to be normal about vash. all she can do is be there for both of them.

vash ends up getting a little bit instagram famous because he’s always posting beautiful views, local food spots, pictures of the dogs he’s petting. he names his van the stampede because meryl said once that it sounded like one when it had a broken part that took him a bit to fix. he goes off his adhd meds, and that gets rough sometimes, but not as rough as it would be when he’d run out of them at uni. he picks up gig work, helps people out, drives for food delivery apps. he tries new things. he drinks too much, but always stays careful about driving – he’s a terrible enough driver already. he sleeps around, realizes it does nothing for him, stops sleeping around. he has weird skills and hobbies and he picks up more weird skills And hobbies.

he makes friends and acquaintances. he pisses people off. he gets into situations because he can’t say no, and gets out of them uncomfortably. he learns how to say no. sometimes he has to learn the hard way.

he puts string lights up in his van and clips polaroids to them, pictures of his favorite donut shops and old selfies with milly and meryl, postcards he’s picked up. he sends postcards back home to rem, sometimes to the girls. once or twice he even sends one to nai, when he’s feeling brave. when he’s feeling particularly lonely.

he does a lot of growing on the road, while knives does a lot of growing at home.

they text more. vash calls sometimes, tentatively, just to chat. knives tries to be normal about it and vash can feel him trying. sometimes nai succeeds, sometimes the attention makes him insufferable. it’s a gamble. sometimes vash is glad he called, sometimes it leaves him feeling sticky and uncomfortable inside.

nai is, of course, dean’s list double major academic prodigy wow what a stellar student. they make friends with a bunch of dysfunctional queers (enter the gung-ho guns, but not necessarily LR – they join once people start to move back home, being wolfwood’s little brother) and, much to knives’s ire, the kid vash had that annoying crush on in high school is here – nicholas d. wolfwood. even more to knives’s ire, nick ends up in the friend group. they end up roommates. knives doesn’t know it but nick also…had a bit of a crush on vash in high school, but the twins fell out of touch with everyone so. nick doesn’t really know what’s up with vash anymore. he occasionally hears knives arguing on the phone, though, and nai never deigns to elaborate past the occasional “my idiot brother.”

wolfwood for his part grew up in a catholic orphanage and was never lucky enough to get adopted out. college is kind of him learning how to be a person, learning what it means to be bisexual and that it’s okay, and nai is awful and caustic and mean but they take no bullshit from anyone and they don’t really stand for their people being fucked with. so wolfwood has some terrible experiences, but he finds some really supportive friends in some really chaotic, terrible people. (like elendira…THE woman ever)

eventually vash just… starts to get tired. it starts to get tough to keep himself afloat and he starts talking to rem about moving home – what’s feasible, some sort of three year plan at least, etc. he’s not used to planning ahead but they work it out, a few months later the Stampede is a blight upon rem’s neighborhood. vash lives with her until he can find a stable job – he picks up more gig work, security for events, works as a barista and manages to net full-time which isn’t great but it helps him put some money away. someone is putting at least two square meals in him each day, something that hasn’t happened in a long time. he’s now within an hour of knives but he keeps a careful distance – baby steps. neither of them is really sure how to re-engage…but they want to.

they’d like to be normal brothers.

vash buys rem flowers whenever he can and he ends up befriending the owner of the florist/nursery. she’s a regular at the cafe where he works too. eventually he manages to start working for her, makes some more money, nails down a place of his own. fills it with plants. starts putting down roots for real.

meanwhile wolfwood is working at a nearby funeral home as an undertaker. and one day he’s running to pick up an order of funeral bouquets because the guy who was supposed to pick them up is out sick and the last thing he expects is to run into vash saverem from high school???

they end up hitting it off. they end up hanging out a lot. knives HATES it…but he has to admit that if someone is gonna come onto his brother, it might as well be nick. at least he begrudgingly accepts nick as trustworthy and respectable

the vashwood kicks off specifically at the twins’ birthday party, when vash follows his time honored tradition of saving his most impossible wishes for blowing out the candle. he never asks for presents or talks about his wishes, and when ppl press him about gifts he gets visibly uncomfortable. and the way he acts about it sets something off in wolfwood, but wolfwood just chews on it until they have a moment alone. stepping out for some fresh air, and a smoke. and vash gives him this almost sleepy, content-for-once look and asks what's eating him, because he can tell. and he's so open and sweet right in that moment that wolfwood folds and the question does slip out. “what's your birthday wish, for real?”

vash is just compromised enough not to think before he says “to date the prettiest boy i know,” just drunk enough not to register what he said and who he said it to before he's booping wolfwood's nose and patting his cheek and wandering back to re-engage with the group and there's something! about him! that makes wolfwood! so! sad! because he just basically told wolfwood that he's into him, and then walked away like he didn't expect wolfwood to do anything about it. like he didn't even consider it being reciprocated.

anyways vash is a remembers-it-all drinker but he acts like that didn’t happen at all, later. and wolfwood chews on that for a few days before finally the two of them are cleaning up after a totally platonic, totally friendly, not gay at all stay-in movie night at vash’s place. finally wolfwood just corners vash into bringing That up, and hits him with the “i also want that” which stumbles into vash trying to play it off and give wolfwood an out to not take it seriously/not be obligated, but wolfwood is Very Serious. and i have this snippet from the master doc: “vash just looking at wolfwood and searching his face, enough faith in wolfwood to know that he's dead serious but not enough faith in himself to be able to measure up to what wolfwood deserves.”

it’s a gamble and they’re both afraid and vulnerable but they’ve also been hanging out SO much and they’ve become SUCH good friends. and meryl has heard vash agonizing SO much about how hot and kind and sweet and thoughtful wolfwood is – not entirely realizing that most of that? that’s just for him. wolfwood is kind, yeah, but he’s not that nice to anyone other than vash…except maybe kids.

anyways they kiss and they start dating after this and that’s how the funeral home/flower shop au trope grabbed me by the throat and dragged me through every layer of hell

oh also in this au, kuroneko is a public figure like pusheen or hello kitty but wolfwood’s cat is a feral who he fed too many times and vash cajoled him into keeping her and named her kuroneko. “because she looks like her!” to which wolfwood pointed out that it’s not hard for a black cat to look like a cartoon of a black cat. but he did keep her. and she is as spoiled as vash is.

@technicolor-dreamss

I finally got enough energy and time to give this compilation a bigger review.

I really hope that the 80s qcard AU plays in an AU where homophobia was not as rampant as it was historically. Because boy was there the whole problem with the AIDS crisis, homophobia and the Reagan era. Freddy Mercury was only 'found out' in the late 80s and even musicians such as Elton John only dared to come out in the 90s. So yeah, personally hope this is a bit of a more.. whimsical AU. Although Picard is still repressed.

To be fair, I think Picard would also turn red and be awkward if Q got him to dance with him somewhere on the Enterprise especially if it was somewhere semi-public.

The second picture really made me think that for the most time Q probably doesn't really have a 'body'. I mean he is actually from a species that would make the average human mad just by looking at them because they kind of go against the law of physics and common sense since Q did imply that the laws of physics are only a mild inconvenience to him at best. And for him to come to the Enterprise and present himself and his human body of choice with a 'tadaa' is so funny to me. Love the little heart with an exclamation mark and Picard once again not being impressed with godlike entity trying to get with him.

I have no idea who that character in the third picture is but I dig the expression.

Absolutely digging the entire concept (the postures, the way Q holds the bow, the outfit and Picards everything) in the fourth picture. Love the detail of Q slightly blushing. This is both the silliest and slightly romantic version of making someone fall in love with you. Q justifying this to himself by Picard actually liking a Midsummer Night's Dream (although Puck used no arrows but semantics, Q just likes cupid better anyway and with this the one Picard falls in love with is a lot more fail-proof). I can see Picard turning around and saying something along the lines of Q finally having gone completely mad. The thing with cupid arrows is that generally the 'love' these things cause are generally portrayed not to be real love but instant infatuation. Which I can see Q enjoying, with Picard being the one fawning over and being very obviously into Q but it's all very surafce level and shallow and while Q certainly does not mind suddenly having become Number One on PIcards priority list and getting various compliments Q does find something important missing in all of this. Sure, Picard being the one who brings up Qs offer of spendin eternity with him and actually wanting to go away with Q is nice and great but it does not feel right that Captain Picard actualyl seems to forget all of his duties in favour of Q. It's a victory for Q for sure but a hallow one.

I do have a compilation of various Picard hugs on this blog somewhere. Two people who generally do get a Picard hug are Beverly and Riker. I think something liek this could happen some time after TNG with either Q or Picard having an involuntary moment of vulnerability and Q being the one to hug first. And while just a few years ago, Picard would have pushed him away now that Q has saved him a few times and he knows Q as a person more, he is willing to accept and give this bit of comfort. If a bit awkwardly. And Q would honestly be so happy that they have come this far.

Ah yes, the kiss in the highschool AU, that I already saw on Instagramm. Also something I can see happening in TNG where PIcard demands of Picard to tell him what Q wants from him and what all of this is about and Q kisses him but does not get the answer he wants and instead only gets a Picard who does not even want to meet his eyes.

Sketches! Kisses are probably such a hard thing to draw.

'You need serious help, mon capitaine' I think this could be very interesting in an AU/headcanon where Picard is more into men than into women which would bring Qs surprise at Vash being his weakness and the 'I would have arrived as a woman' in another context because Q thought that Picard would be more into him as a man but Picard is denying this part of himself for some reason. I woudl say homophobic parents but I saw one hc about Picard having just a really bad taste in men and that his taste in people evolved into a taste of 'bad boys' in his highschool and Academy years which resulted in him having had even messier relationships with men than with women and therefore just having sworn men and this part of hmself off entirely. Which would be so interesting, frustrating and funny to Q because in a weird way he is exactly Picards type of man and he can tell that Picard is actually quite into him but Picard gets very, very defensive once Q brings that up.

I don't know what this is more fitting to pre-TNG!Q meeting DejaQ!Q and being like 'Am I actually going to become this pathetic` or postTNG!Q meeting DejaQ!Q and being like 'was I actually this pathetic?'

And of course some nice sketches from more TNG crew. I actually do hc that Q is kind of terrified, tries to ignore Deanna because he has been on board naked both literally and empathically so Deanna has felt a variety of Qs emotions, perhaps has figured out a few things about Q as a person tha the does not want others to have figured out.

Shit I never posted 😭 School has started so I’m locking in. Some of it is qcard aus. Guess what the aus are cuz I’m not fucking explaining

Only for me..

A Jennifer’s Body AU w/ Uncanny Vash

SUMMARY: in which Vash is your part demon boyfriend.. who has a rather interesting diet.

TW: mentions of murder, corpses, cannibalism, blood, light gore, slightly suggestive (you kiss and get close to one another w/ some suggestive touches), mentions of not eating (nothing too heavy)

NOTES: Ray said smth along the lines of “I need to kiss him when he’s covered in blood” and I felt that. Jennifer’s body is one of my fav movies ever (and while I was watching it w Ray and a few other friends he was like “…so uncanny vash-“ AND I WAS LIKE “YES.”) so take this thingy hehe

“..I hate that you have to- to lure them in like this.” You were well aware of how beautiful and captivating your boyfriend was, charisma rolling off of him in waves.

He was inhuman.

“..I know mayfly, I’m sorry..” his gaze drifted towards the ground, swinging the corpse around like a rag doll sheepishly. “I’ll make it up to you, I swear.” Blood covered him, head to toe, splattered across his cheeks and even the lens of his glasses.

You stood, arms crossed on one side of the room pouting. “Mm.. ok.” Your foot tapped on the ground of the abandoned house- you’d made it habit to meet with him afterwards, terrified at first but soon warming up to it. He didn’t enjoy it either.

There were days you had to convince him to find food. Starving himself, for the sake of others- which was selfless, and perhaps it wasn’t morally correct of you to cast others aside but you needed him alive. So you compromised. He wouldn’t do this alone. He was eternally grateful for that, really. He much preferred his other, more temporary way of feeding. When the.. incubi part of him gave way to you. He’d never bring himself to hurt you- god no! But you seemed to have your own allure, feeding him in waves. In some irony, you were the dessert he fed from after a meal from one unfortunate victim.

He gently lays the body down on the couch for others to discover later, making his way toward you. His pupils contract unnaturally, stomach probably making room for it’s assumed second course now. A rumble erupts from his stomach, hungry, depraved, even. It's a bit scary to you still, even more so when you'd first found out about his little secret. That the likable tennis nerd in your bio class was secretly a serial killer- not by choice. He was such a sweetheart, despite the feral look glinting in his eyes he held you tenderly against the walls of the rickety house at the edge of town.

"..'m only yours.." He murmured against your neck, nipping gently. His jaw creaked, bones rearranging from the previous tearing of flesh with his teeth. "All mine.." You smiled into his hair, stained a slight pink. "Mm, you gotta shower." Your hand found its way into the strands, ruffling his hair affectionately. The hum he released was rather otherwordly in pitch, content chirps growing closer and closer until-

"Clean your mouth first, uh uh."

Of course you made him use mouthwash before kissing you, duh. Cross contamination was a thing. You truly wonder if that applied to your situation, however either way you weren't too fond of the idea of having his leftovers between your teeth.

He whined, tossing his head back and rummaging throughout his pockets. "Fine, fine..." a cute pout settled on his lips. One you couldn't wait to kiss off. "Hurry up.." you tapped your foot impatiently, "Had to wait so long earlier." "You act like you're the one getting fed!" Ah, the irony. Amusement dripped from his tone as he hurriedly spat the mouthwash out the half opened window. "I'm a very lucky person to be feeding you. Now c'mere." You slung your arms over his shoulders once more, his neck craning down as he dipped you playfully, pressing you to the wall once again. His lips met yours briefly- a warning for what was to come- before he groaned. The demon in him had yet to be satiated.

Vash craved you immensely, and would go to extreme lengths to truly prove it to you. So dutiful. Devoted to you.

Warmth emanated from him, as if he were a heated, weighted blanket. Everything about him made your head spin- although that may be apart of his quite literal otherwordly charm and aphrodisiac. Well, that, and the fact you were head over heels in love with him. "Love you mayfly," he groaned, "Only you. 'm sorry, 'm so sorry.." He whimpered, message to you broken between kisses. Oh god, he was so sweet.

"You're the only one for me." He continued, pressing into you further. His breath mixed with your own, his arms encasing you. He was your safe haven, yours. And he'd do anything for you. Blood trickled onto your shirt, chest pressed to his front. Crimson tinged every article of clothing he wore when feeding, you both had to make routine trips to the thrift store in town nowadays. It made for cute dates out, though, so you weren't complaining. "Love you too.." You breathed out, barely able to get a word out as he kissed you deeper, and deeper, inhuman tongue plunging into your mouth. He seemed to always crave more of you, the taste of you intoxicating. He hummed, hands rubbing up and down your biceps before tightening around you once more. Everything about him was exhilarating, always giving you so much it almost felt overwhelming in the best possible way. A coppery taste still made its way into your mouth, but you'd grown to not mind the taste. Not if it was Vash, the boy who'd cherish you through and through. Who would bite at your bottom lip, practically devouring you with such need as he continued to cling to you in full.

You'd love him through and through, making this all work. You had so much love to give him, pressing back against him in an attempt to match his feverish need in your kiss.

He was yours. And in return? You were his, unapologetically, unconditionally, and that would remain unchanging.

POV: he got his arm broken trying to help you and the next morning his twin brother is confronting you

oops i ended up rambling a lot so im putting this under a cut, basically its my trigun modern au thoughts for the main 4 (plus kuroneko) so yea. hi

modern au to me vash and meryl have been besties since middle school. when they first met meryl had a crush on him but then she got to know him more and was like he's kind of pathetic actually. and after her crush went away they developed more of a siblingy friendship vibe, always bickering and annoying eachother but still ready to throw down for the other at the drop of a hat. and milly and wolfwood dated in highschool and were eachother's first like everythings. and then they both realized they were gay and broke up amicably and stayed really good friends.

milly and meryl meet when they work at the same place ofcourse. coworkers to friends to lovers moment. at first meryl is kind of astonished at milly's... everything, and like she wants to not be endeared by her but like. its milly. everyone is endeared by her! meryl was doomed from the start to fall in love. and milly is equally head over heels but shes soooo much better at being casual about it than meryl is. meryl is chill most of the time but she very frequently gets flustered as fuck around milly and becomes kind of a mess. meanwhile milly just acts as sweet and silly as she always does, so meryl gets all in her head about it like ohh she probably doesnt feel the same way since shes always so calm. but in reality milly is like haha i would do anything for this small and loud pretty woman and she daydreams about their wedding all the time. and milly flirts with her all the time but meryl is always like "oh surely she didnt mean it that way! lots of things milly says come out the wrong way, she just doesnt realize how it sounded!" but milly was doing it on purpose and is getting increasingly distressed over how else she could make it obvious to meryl. eventually she just straight up tells her like meryl i have romantic feelings for you and have had them for a while now! ive been flirting with you for ages but you always brush me off! and meryl is like THAT WAS ALL ON PURPOSE? milly OF COURSE IT WAS ON PURPOSE! and the misunderstanding is resolved and they start dating. at this point in my head the main four already all live together so i think eventually millymeryl would just. silently combine their rooms. they dont tell vash and wolfwood when they do though because they dont want either of them to try and claim the now extra room, nor make it a shared space. they LIKE having two rooms thank you very much. they get caught at some point and vash gets all pouty about it but wolfwood is like thats fucking hilarious. i would do the same. great job girls. and the girls get to keep their extra room of course.

as for vashwood i think they meet by chance and have like. the opposite of a meetcute. at first theyre like oh this guys an asshole! and think thats it. but then milly and meryl start hanging out more and they introduce their respective besties, which oops surprise they already know eachother! because they were both dicks to eachother in public one time! and its awkward as fuck at first but they end up accidentally bonding over like. well knowing them they probably do something nice for some random kid and thats how they start to be like "hmm maybe i didnt give this guy enough credit, he does seem like a nice dude. ill be easier on him now i guess" and like they still love to annoy eachother. but they have found like a mutual comraderie over it. its all good natured bickering and ribbing. and they both find it entertaining to team up and annoy meryl as much as possible. i think at some point they would both just realized like, oh shit hes one of my best friends and also i think im in love with him? well we dont have time to unpack all that! and they both try to pretend theyre normal. and fail. i think they would end up hooking up after a party or something similar and freak out but then agree on like a fwb situation. and they still are refusing to confess to eachother or believe that their feelings could be reciprocated. meryl wants to hurt them but milly is like ohh meryl theyll figure it out, they just need time! so meryl tries her best to stay out of it and not kill them in their sleep. shes being so brave and strong and were all so proud of her. and idk what would end up making vashwood confess but i think it would be like, some kind of frightening event where theyre afraid of losing eachother. so they finally just go for it cause they dont wanna risk never telling the other how they feel and losing the chance to. and so they FINALLY get their shit together and kiss or whatever. all is well for them.

btw as previously stated all four of them would be roommates in my mind. and kuroneko is their shared cat that adopted them by force one day. milly is the best with kuro, shes very affectionate and sweet and spoils her, and kuro knows it and loves it. meryl sometimes gets frustrated with kuro and doesnt think kuro likes her that much, but they get along pretty well and dont have any issues. vash LOVES kuro and wants to pet her all the time but kuro is so cold to him and it breaks his heart so bad. every now and then she will show him a tiny spot of affection and it keeps him going for months. wolfwood would be like "dads with the cat they didnt want" he would act all annoyed by her and deny liking her but that is his baby and hes carrying her on his shoulders and cooking her fresh chicken to eat because its good for her health and it would be rude to cook chicken for everyone else's dinner and not include her. he buys her collars with cute bows and patterns but if any of the others asked him he would say someone else in the house is responsible. he isnt fooling anyone.

anyways thats my goofy lighthearted 3 am modern au ideas. millymeryl and vashwood 4ever in my mind palace

Nightow is the the one who loves and hates Vashwood the most, here is why:

On the booklet of Trigun's soundtrack, Nightow made an official TRIGUN highschool baseball club AU and proceeded to JUST DEATHFLAG Wolfwood again by giving him an incurable disease.

However, there are more to these pictures, you see, here, Wolfwood plays as the catcher, while Vash is the pitcher, and fun fact times, in baseball, the pitcher is sometimes compared to a husband and the catcher to a wife. The catcher brings out the best in the pitcher, and the pitcher trusts the catcher's lead in pitching, a close relationship that can't be found among player at other positions. In particular, a catcher who has strong mutual trust with the pitcher is sometimes called a "nyoubouyaku" - which can be translated to partner, right-hand man, but is usally used to describe A LOVE WIFE.

NYOUBOYAKU is literally the word Nightow used to refer to WW in this text, they are canon, Vashwood is canon, in the worst way possible tho, but I rest my case.
